Google DeepMind, in collaboration with GovTech Singapore, deploys lightweight Gemma models on user devices to identify conversational scams in real time.
The on-device anti-scam system adopts a "zero cloud data egress" design, meaning conversation analysis is completed locally on the device and raw data is not transmitted to any remote server.
GovTech Singapore is a government agency under the Prime Minister's Office responsible for developing and operating digital services for various public sectors in Singapore, including the Singpass identity authentication system and government e-services platforms; its role is not that of a regulator but of a technology implementer.
GovTech understands the communication channels citizens actually use (such as SMS, WhatsApp, etc.) and can integrate DeepMind's models into real public service touchpoints, rather than relying on a commercial company to promote them alone.
The model of "technology agency leadership + frontier research support" is becoming a replicable cooperation paradigm in countries with strict data governance.
The prerequisite for scaling on-device anti-scam solutions is that the recognition accuracy of on-device models can approach that of cloud-based solutions and that users are willing to enable the feature on their devices; the technical barrier is decreasing, but the trust barrier remains key.
